Burglary

The word burglar comes from the two German words berg, meaning "house," and laron, meaning "thief" (literally "house thief"). Another suggested etymology is from the later Latin word burgare, "to break open" or "to commit burglary", from burgus, meaning "fortress" or "castle", with the word then passing through French and Middle English. Burglary at common law is the breaking and entering of a dwell­ing house of another at night with the intent to commit a felony, whether the intent is carried out or not. This definition has been generally adopted with some modifications in the criminal law of the various states of the United States. At common law burglary is primarily an offense against the security of habitation, not against the property as such, but today by statute burglary usually includes breaking into places other than dwellings. Breaking as well as en­tering is essential to commission of the crime; to constitute a break­ing, the use of physical force is necessary and sufficient, even though the amount of force may be slight, e.g., turning a key, opening a partly closed window, pushing out a windowpane. Entry through fraud (as by posing as a guest), through threat, or through conspir­acy with servants is deemed by the law equivalent to breaking and is called "constructive breaking." By statute most states do not restrict burglary to action at night, as the common law does. Bur­glary under common law requires that the intent be to commit a felony, but some statutes declare that the intent need only be "to commit some crime."

The common law burglary was defined by Sir Matthew Hale as the breaking and entering the house of another in the night time, with intent to commit a felony therein, whether the felony be actually committed or not. Breaking can be either actual, such as by forcing open a door, or constructive, such as by fraud or threats. Breaking does not require that anything be "broken" in terms of physical damage occurring. A person who has permission to enter part of a house, but not another part, commits a breaking and entering when they use any means to enter a room where they are not permitted, so long as the room was not open to enter.

Burglary ['bə:ɡlərɪ] – крадіжка із зломом

Habitation – житло

Essential – обов’язковий

Fraud [frɔ:d] – обман, шахрайство

Threat – погроза

Conspiracy [kən’spɪrəsɪ] – змова

Felony – кримінальний злочин

To deem – вважати
